SUMMARY:Volunteer Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:During the month of April\, we thank God for our volunteers\, who serve tirelessly in a variety of ways in our LCMS schools and congregations. \nThese roles are too numerous and varied to list them all\, but they might include elders\, council/board members\, altar guild members\, greeters\, ushers\, acolytes\, volunteer musicians\, Sunday school/vacation Bible school teachers\, property/landscape volunteers\, office volunteers and more. All of these faithful individuals are integral to the mission in the places they serve\, and we give thanks to God for them. \n\nLCMS Worker Wellness\n\nlcms.org/worker-wellness\nworkerwellness@lcms.org\n\n  \nSet Apart to Serve — LCMS church work recruitment initiative\n\nlcms.org/set-apart-to-serve\nsetapart2serve@lcms.org

SUMMARY:FORO — Mexico
DESCRIPTION:LCMS International Mission will host a FORO about mission work in Mexico on April 22-23\, 2026\, in Mexico City. \nWhat is a FORO?\nA FORO — Spanish for “forum” — fosters relationships between missionaries serving on behalf of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and mission partners. The meetings facilitate networking\, start conversations\, and focus resources to make disciples of all nations for generations to come. \nWhen do FOROs occur?\nOnce or twice a year\, LCMS missionaries meet with partners — people from churches\, organizations\, schools\, and partner churches — in their mission field. They discuss strategies to make disciples\, address community needs\, emphasize mutual listening\, and encourage shared decision-making. \nWhy are FOROs needed?\nMissionaries don’t only need funding and volunteers. Missionaries need relationships. They need support networks. They need people to walk with them\, pray with them\, listen to them\, learn from them\, and stand with them. FOROs help provide those relationships. \nTo learn more about FOROs\, visit international.lcms.org/foro. \n\nContact\nRev. Dr. Arthur Rickman\, LCMS Missionary \narthur.rickman@lcms.org
